The Phen.AI is responsible for detecting any network problems and insider threats, providing threat hunting, and providing behavioral analytic detections. Including pen testing, complete visibility of your network,

Let’s look at Phen, the AI.

What is it offering you to address cyber defense threats, and why is Phen, the AI solution, different than everyone else in today’s digital market?

The Phen.AI is giving you

• Humanoid Intelligence driving your cyber defense. AI is using humanoid thought operating at silicon speed.  The solution is protection against insider threats and threats from zero-day or unknown origins for better and complete protection of your network.  Phen.AI is like combining Flash with Sherlock Holmes, and they are working together to solve problems.
• Phen.AI’s ability to start understanding the network and offering “protection” within 15 minutes of deployment and reducing threat detection and breach detection times to less than 15 minutes compared to the industry standard.
• Phen.AI is not difficult to set up or use.  Deployment is straightforward compared to other products in the industry standard.
• Many products require a baselining of the network that can take anywhere from 30 days to several months.  However, Phen AI does not require this, and it is operational within 15 minutes of installation and setup.
• Normally, it takes 15 minutes for Phen AI to discover and learn the network.  Over time, Checkmate got more intelligent, like Sherlock.
• Phen.AI is your cyber SME and works with your IT security team and provides security.

Currently, CheckMate is deployed into an appliance, is also designed to operate at the S/TS level network without reach-back to the vendor site or cloud presence.
